1964 Summer Paralympics - Participating Delegations

Participating Delegations

Nineteen delegations participated in the Tokyo Paralympics.

The 1964 Games marked South Africa's Paralympic Games début. The country had just been banned from taking part in the Olympic Games, due to its policy of apartheid, and was thus absent from the 1964 Summer Olympics. It was not, however, banned from the Paralympics until 1980, and Japan (as host country) did not oppose its participation.
